The Pinus radiata is an evergreen with an incredibly fast growth rate. It survives well in coastal areas and in well drained soils. With age, the tree drops its lower branches, thus producing a rounded, flat crown. Pines are highly combustible plants.

Planting: 1. Dig a hole 1" less the depth and 2 times the width of the container. 2. Fill hole with water, let soak. 3. Set root ball in hole. 4. Fill hole halfway with native soil and water. 5. Finish back filling hole, build basin and water.
